Jogger sexually assaulted on banks of River Clyde

Detectives in Glasgow are appealing for information after a woman was sexually assaulted while she was out running along the banks of the River Clyde in April.

The 27 year-old was stopped by a man riding a red bike, who stopped her and asked if she wanted a massage before the attack.

The man is described as being: Asian, with a strong Indian accent, aged between 20 and 29, around 5ft 6 of slim build with short black untidy hair. He is also described as having misaligned teeth and wearing a light grey jumper, blue baggy jeans and brown leather sandals. He was also carrying a dark coloured satchel style bag.

Police Constable Jonathon Wieczorek, London Road Police Office, said:

“Officers have been following a number of lines of enquiry since the incident was reported which have so far proved negative. We are looking for further information from the public to help trace the man responsible.

“Although the woman was not injured during the incident, it has left her concerned about going out on her own and unable to trust people who approach her. Nobody should feel unsafe where they live and therefore we take these types of incidents very seriously.

“We are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this incident take place, or have encountered a man in the area matching the description to come forward and contact us. Do you remember anyone trying to approach you? This area is extremely busy with runners, cyclists and walkers - many of whom use it on a regularly basis. We urge you to think back.”

Anyone with information should contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 3147 of Monday 30 April 2018. Alternatively you can contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
